Upcoming JIATS Issue

The upcoming issue of the Journal of the International Association of Tibetan Studies (issue seven), entitled “Si tu paṇ chen: Creation and Cultural Engagement in Eighteenth-Century Tibet,” is a thematic issue focusing on the important figure Situ Panchen Chökyi Jungné (1700-1774), who was influential in eighteenth-century Tibet in fields such as painting, religious literature, the literary arts, astro-medicine, and sectarian relations as well as the court in the kingdom of Dergé. These articles are developed from papers presented at the conference "Situ Panchen: Creation and Cultural Engagement in 18th-Century Tibet" held at the Rubin Museum of Art (February 7-8, 2009).
